Naxos is often featured in Greek mythology and is the birthplace of Dionysos, the "god of wine and drama". The ancient ruins Portara standing next to the port is the gate of the temple built by the ancient Greeks to worship Apollo, which has now become the landmark of Naxos. Because of its unique geographical location, Naxos often becomes a transit point for tourists to other islands in the Aegean Sea. In fact, there are not many ancient ruins on the island itself, except for the landmark Portara, which is on the hills of the port town. , there are still remnants of castles built during the reign of Venice from the 13th to the 16th centuries, which are intricately like a labyrinth. In the north of Naxos, there is Apollonas, where the ruins of the Temple of Apollo are located. It is located on the hills facing the sea and is connected by climbing passages. It is an ideal place to watch the sunset of the Aegean Sea and take pictures on the whole island.Naxos · 213m from downtown
Mikri Vigla Beach

Mikri Vigla Beach was originally a lookout for pirates, and the beach is dotted with many reefs and golden granite rocks. Compared to other beaches near the town, it receives fewer visitors and is very tranquil. You can swim, surf, and kitesurf here, and you will see many couples flying kites along the shore, which is quite romantic.Naxos · 9km from downtown

Naxos is located on the west coast of the island of the same name. It is the capital and largest town here, with ships connecting to all parts of Greece and other surrounding islands. It was once an important city-state shared by Greeks and Venetian Catholics in history, and is now a tourist destination in the Aegean region, always crowded with tourists every summer.
